BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH

Application

BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH are typically used in chemical and process industries

where there is danger of fire. The galvanised steel wire armour provides excellent protection.

Construction

BS5308 Cable Part 1 Type 2 MG-XLPE-IS-OS-SWA-LSOH

Conductor :Annealed copper, Class 2

Insulation :Mica glass tape, XLPE (Cross Linked Polyethylene), or PE (optional)

Pairing :Two insulated conductors uniformly twisted together with a lay not exceeding 100mm
